Elizabeth Carrion: Sweet and Savory Slow Cooked Cuban Picadillo

This is a no fuss Cuban-style hash recipe using lean meat and flavors that will create a party in your mouth. Traditionally, it is served over white rice but you can replace with brown rice to bump up the health factor.

1. Chop all of your ingredients in advance. 2. In a large skillet, brown the ground meat constantly breaking down until very small. 3. Pour all ingredients into the slow-cooker. 4. Mix until well combined. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours. 5. Serve over white or brown rice.
